The tail cannon is much smaller than the main cannon of the ship, but it is still powerful. Jin Jingnan and Geng Jingming had long since left the guards who were helping them, staring at the explosion on the nameless island in the distance.

"Turn right ninety, starboard cannons are ready." Qiu Dongye's voice sounded slowly in everyone's ears. The experimental ship turned around ten degrees left in the spot and aimed the starboard island at the distance. A neat sound rang out. The starboard picking boards that looked nothing different were pulled apart. Several soldiers shouted and pushed the cannon out of the cannon, and the dark muzzles of the cannons were protruded from these cannon doors.

"Fire the cannons one by one." Qiu Dongye roared loudly.

Starting from the first cannon near the head of the ship, thick smoke rose up, and explosions stimulating everyone's eardrums. The entire experimental ship was covered by blue smoke in an instant. Qin Feng and his group, who stood high and looked far away, saw the nameless island as if they were hell at this time, the rocks collapsed and dummies flew everywhere.

"Turn right one hundred and eight, prepare for port guns." In the stunned everyone, Qiu Dongye's voice seemed so harsh.

Jin Jingnan had long become a wooden man, but Geng Jingming was rubbing his eyes desperately. He had long since escaped. His physical discomfort was completely unaware of the strong stimulation of his senses.

You should know that the shaking of the warships in this body is much more violent than when they sailed earlier. With every cannon sound, the warships will shake violently and bump up and down.

In fact, it was not just them. The two warships that were carrying out protection missions on the left and right sides of the experimental ship were also silent at this time. Countless sailors surged on the deck, squeezing on the side facing the nameless island, looking at the incredible scene in front of you like a dull geese.

"Your Majesty, all the masters, the fixed-position shooting has been completed. Next, the moving shelling will be carried out, which is similar to the scene in a naval battle." Qiu Dongye walked up and reported to Qin Feng.

"Come on the order according to the established procedures!" Qin Feng could not suppress the joy in his heart and nodded repeatedly.

The experimental ship started to anchor and began to accelerate slowly. Under Ning Zeyuan's command, the sailors on the other two frigates were also driven back to their posts under the scolding of the officers. Because the next one was a comparison experiment, they also had to participate in the attack.

The three warships were scattered and began to wander around the nameless island. Accompanied by the roars of the officers, the thunder fires on the sides of the first two warships began to fire in turn. The sky was suddenly covered with red iron balls of all sizes, falling towards the ships arranged around the island.

The big ones were similar to the warships under their feet, and the small ones were like fishing fishing in the river, sparsely fixed on the sea surface.

The attack of the thunder fire immediately made the sea area ahead boil. A huge wave that soared into the sky was aroused by the falling iron ball. The big ship began to burn. The small boat was either thrown high by the huge waves, or was unlucky to be hit by a thunder fire, and was instantly hit into two pieces.

"Our navy's combat power is still extremely strong." Looking at the skillful operation of the soldiers on the two battleships in front, Qin Feng nodded at Ning Zeyuan with satisfaction. "I didn't slacken because I had no opponents at sea."

"Your Majesty, our opponents are growing rapidly. The Ming navy is waiting for the battle and dare not relax a little." Ning Zeyuan said happily.

"Yes, it's a thousand days to raise soldiers, and it's used for a while. How to write the word "raising" is very particular." Qin Feng laughed. "Next, let's take a look at the performance of the experimental ship."

Before he finished speaking, the cannons on the side of the experiment ship opened fire one by one.

When the blue smoke dissipated, everyone's eyes gradually became clear. The results of the experimental comparison were clear at a glance.

The attack effect of the old warships is still very good. In the area where they attack, basically all targets suffered huge losses, but compared with the attack effect of the experimental ship, it is much worse.

Because the experimental ships were basically invisible in the area attacked by the experiment ship, only thick wooden boards were left, and wooden pieces and wooden stakes were floating helplessly above the sea water with the current.

Not to mention the speed of the warship, just the results achieved by the attack, the experimental ship has completely defeated the old warship.

"Geng's Ministry of Housing, look, will our navy's new ship waste the country's money?" Ning Zeyuan smiled and came to Geng Jingming.

"No waste, no waste at all. It seems that a new warship can be used as a few old ships!" Geng Jingming was the most skilled in calculating. Looking at the scene in front of him, he naturally made a comparison of the value maximization immediately.

"So, do you fully support Luo in our plan to build a new fleet?" Ning Zeyuan immediately stepped forward and knocked on the nail.

Before Geng Jingming could speak, a heavy cough came from his ear. The two of them turned their heads and saw Jin Jingnan's face. The waxy face was flushed because of excitement, but Jin Jingnan did not lose the most basic rational judgment. Seeing that Geng Jingming was likely to get into Ning Zeyuan's condom, he immediately inserted it in at the right time.

"The new ship is indeed powerful, but it is not an imminent matter for the Ming Dynasty. Even with the current naval power, the Ming Dynasty was enough to make the Qi people unable to raise their heads. The new ship was just to make the opponent more vulnerable. Therefore, it is not necessary to immediately launch a new fleet, but it can be added slowly. Ning Shilang, I think two new warships are added a year, and within five years, you can gather a new fleet out. Furthermore, the existing old warships, especially those that have been in service for many years, can be overhauled and transformed into new warships. Geng Hubu, don't you think?"

"The Chief Auxiliary, it still costs a lot of money to transform the old ship." Ning Zeyuan said in a voice.

Jin Jingnan said with a smile: "Save as much as you can! No matter how small the mosquito legs are, it is still meat. Minister Ning, the court is going to use money everywhere now. To be honest, there may be a lot of trouble in the Chu area next. How to settle it then? Of course, it is to use money. One big project after another requires a sea of ​​gold and silver! Just the full replacement of rail cars, the money needed is an astronomical number."

Ning Zeyuan looked at Jin Jingnan with a qilin. It turned out that the acting he had spent a lot of effort to prepare for did not touch the prime minister's heart at all. Even before, he was shocked that three souls left their bodies and seven souls left their bodies.

"Your Majesty, the authority of artillery has already seen it. I believe that we should make great arrangements in the army." Jin Jingnan had turned his head to talk to Qin Feng.

"The artillery is too heavy. Although we have rail cars, it is still quite inconvenient to transfer in many places!" Qin Feng nodded.

"Even though it is a bit inconvenient, I think any problem can be overcome relative to their power. Lord Qiu, is it possible to make this cannon smaller and lighter?" Jin Jingnan asked.

"The chief assistant, the cannon is smaller and lighter, and the power will be reduced accordingly."

"It doesn't matter if the reduction is small, let's make up the number. This cannon is not more capable of transporting than the Thunderbolt Fire. A guy as big as the Thunderbolt Fire, we took him to the battlefield." Jin Jingnan. "Besides, our Ming Dynasty's engineering construction technology can be said to be changing with each passing day. Building roads with cement as raw materials can create a thoroughfare in a very short time. What's there to worry about?"

"Sincere assistant, you are biased!" Ning Zeyuan shouted on the side: "Ministry of War, please speak justice!"

The kitten smiled but didn't say anything. Anyway, for him, it would be fine as long as the meat was rotten in the pot. As for whether the navy or the army got it, there was no difference between him.

"Why is it biased?" Jin Jingnan looked at Ning Zeyuan in surprise: "Mr. Ning, you say a conscience. Over the years, did you stop me, Mr. Jin, when your navy wanted to build ships vigorously? Have you always supported me? Over the years, the navy has built four fleets. How much money has it cost? You don't know what it is? Now our Ming navy's strength is far superior to the Qi people. Slowly replenishing is not that you don't give you money to build new ships! You want to see, the combat effectiveness of our Ming army is not much different from that of the Qi people. Now the Qi people have conquered iron and steel smelting technology, crossbow machines, thunder fires, and new catapults. They are all beginning to imitate on a large scale. If our army's weapons are not upgraded, how can we maintain an absolute advantage with the Qi people?"

Jin Jingnan said a lot, and Ning Zeyuan was speechless, but he knew in his heart that almost everyone in the imperial court, especially in the Political Affairs Hall, still placed the main direction of the alignment on the land.

Qin Feng would not participate in or speak in the debates made by his ministers as usual, unless he encountered a principled problem. What's more, Jin Jingnan said it well, adding two new warships to the navy every year is a considerable investment.

"Go to the island and have a look!" he said softly.

The emperor spoke at this time, which meant that the argument would end, and the matter came to an end. The result was of course based on the previous conclusion. Ning Zeyuan was dark and Yu Cong was also unhappy. He was just secretly hated in his heart. Why didn’t there be a big storm and let the assistant Jin vomit again?

When He Ying led his first fleet to the nameless island, he saw countless ruins floating on the sea. The emperor and his ministers had already boarded the nameless island under the escort of several small boats.
